I survived :-)

Surgery went extremely well turned out not to be a slipped band by adhesions
excessive scar tissue causing the problem. So now in a month to get back to
working out and losing much much much more weight.

Last time anesthesia caused a whole lot of problems including spiking my
body temperature to 108 for a short period. Took 4 extra hours of recovery
when it should have taken an hour and a 1/2 normally. They called it
malignant hyperthermia or something like that

This time no problems woke up with ease. They said I did not wake up during
the procedure which I tend to do. Still in some pain from where the surgeon
cut. He thinks it is a nerve told him well it was not fat this time but
muscle.

My sleep apnea has improved so much that my blood oxygen level never went
below 99%. So I got to come home early.

I weight myself 115 pound lost as of today. I have not been this weight in
about 15 years.

Also a good thing not waking up with back pain knocking on wood finished
my last round of epi shots two Fridays ago


I want to day thank you all for your purrs prayers and kind words. It meant
the world to me

Going to crash for a few hours no sleep last night had to check in at
5:30am it an hour drive there plus the nice pain killers they gave me are
making me sleepy. Good night folks thanks again

I'm glad all went well. Get plenty of sleep, take it easy, and recover
quickly.

It's always a worry when you have a general anaesthetic, isn't it? Will I
wake up?
Glad you did, Matt, and well done for your commitment toward the continued
journey towards the weight you want to achieve.
Purrs and prayers for quick healing.
(keep taking the painkillers too, it stresses your body to be in pain and
retards healing)
